33-23 104th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The property at 33-23 104th Street in Jackson Heights is a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 2005 and owned by Li Yong Lin. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly between 2019 and 2021, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, as well as electrical issues including lighting outages and power outages. Notably, there was an episode of scalding hot water in one unit in February 2019, and during that same period, violations were recorded for missing smoke detectors and the need for carbon monoxide detectors in the first-floor apartment.

More recent concerns include open Class A violations from 2022-2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports, and an open Class B violation from 2019 concerning an illegal chain and padlock at the lot line building front. The building has also faced several infrastructure and safety challenges, including an unsanitary garbage/recycling storage issue in 2021, and a number of heat/hot water-related complaints in 2019. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in June 2023, though inspectors were initially denied access.

The property has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing a 2012 compliance inspection following an initial failure. A permit for electrical work was issued in July 2019, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's systems. While many historical issues have been addressed, as evidenced by closed complaint statuses, there remain several open violations that require attention, particularly regarding building safety systems like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
